you check out the sometimes 9 dodge your journey get inside the you're watching to the new is going to live from berlin. be growing risk between the us and europe over ukraine. it takes center stage at the united nations, the u. s. brakes ranks with its york in allies voting against a resolution condemning russia's invasion of ukraine. french president and my phone picks up a heated discussion and during a whitehouse visits, also a head on our program. 3 years after russia's full scale invasion, ukrainians pay tribute to the victims of russian war, including the mastercard at $4.00 to rebel forces in the democratic

republic of congo. capture major cities fears, grow of a wider conflict as the us and un calling for a ceasefire. the employer, richardson, thank you so much for joining us. the united states has what with the therapy and allies at the united nations, by refusing to blame russia for its invasion of ukraine, than us in france, were at odds of the un security council. where the west failed to back a resolution of waveland, russia as the aggressor in ukraine's war. despite this president, trump has again stated that the conflict quoted and within weeks and that presidents the landscape might be back in washington this week or next. see dramatic shift in transit atlantic relations at the un security council. for years

out of the us has voted in favor of resolutions that take place affirming ukraine's territorial integrity and calling on russia to seize hostilities to under president donald trump. us is taking a difference dancers, but the time for russia and ukraine to make difficult choices. and the fighting is now. we call on all other un member states to join the united states in pushing for a durable piece that will bring stability to europe and deter further aggression. general us is adopting a neutral stance that does not right condemn russia, causing a split with a to european allies. but both the general assembly joined russia, north korea, iran and others in voting against a resolution drafted by ukraine on the 3rd anniversary of moscow's invasions. and letting me retreat west, let me assure you that ukraine once peace more than anyone but not any peace. we

must be mindful of the fact that this is existence shall war. this has existential wolf, within tide, democratic road, power, democratic principles, and values. and the russia has repeatedly tried to dismantle these rules this order, and it was acute architecture that it is impossible to stop with the rest. and by appeasing it basement doesn't work, the west instead pushed for its own competing resolution named the path to peace port calls for swift and to the war without naming russia as the aggressor, a cranes european allies led by friends or proposed an amendment to the us tax to underline that the conflict was the result of russia's invasion, military operate, those who went through this with the rush, i chose to bring them back to europe and saw him then over the past 3 years. and i guess russia has been waging a brutal, legal,

unjustifiable aggression against the ukraine, with a late since disregard for international humanitarian law. and mindy, how did he barely go? pretty popular? as you'll see below us, however, abstain from voting on the amended version of its resolution. and eventually, the un security council adopted washington's original resolution with 10 votes in favor. and 5 extension was a statement i spoke with february's per chair, who has the strategic consultancy rouse most and global. and he gave me his take on the us, citing with russia. i think you went over your cray. so what i think you're seeing right now is the re alignment. not just for to commit to christians, but i think there's something more from them on to that we so in unique the munich security conference, we say us vice president speech, which basically was a n t lieber, a speech she to us against. the 2nd version of our society,

e and democracy, which is very much alive with the way the russians have been criticizing us for b to open to certain groups. so to turn it around and not enough uh, towards other groups must be to defy. right? so i think this is not just about diplomacy and about reaching some a ceasefire a 2nd month in ukraine. it's about possibly the us and restriction sharing some of the kind of a visions of values with the occupant of the criminal. stay with us for just a moment. if you would, i'd like to take a look at something else that's happened recently regarding this you as move away from you allies at the when that's cause concern in europe. and we've seen a president trump meeting with a friend of president, and i'm a client at the white house on monday where my crime said that it was a francis aim to build a long lasting piece. and that europe was ready to be a stronger partner to the west and to step off its defense spending. and trump

expressed hope that the war would be coming to an end while with chrome caution that any potential agreement with russia should not mean surrender for ukraine cars . if this gruesome and bloody war can scarcely be overestimated. hundreds of thousands of people, russians and ukrainians in particular of needlessly died. and i've spoken with both president potent and president lensky. and again, a lot of a lot of good things toward peace are happening. moving in, i think pretty quickly. and i know next steps you'll have to successfully ended up in the us. so the desire to be, i don't know, layers and be there's a couple of the reasons they don't, they don't look like this piece must not be in. and besides the renter of the home screen and must not certain that these ones are bar without guarantee conditions when fee is allowed in the software to keep the cream 2 is associated with a 200 stakeholder one a. let's go back to puppies per chair from rasmussen,

global for comment here. do you think we're crohn was able to get through to trump and presenting european position during their meeting at the white house? this maybe the next question is isaac managed to convince, tried to change or to re balance his approach to the, to the war. and clearly my call dropped the right documents. we could maybe the pro is that these documents can be too late in the, at washington. the sure that'd be possibly a part of the table uh over the months ago. uh, but uh, it's not clear whether those documents, however correct. uh which ease you create and need some sleep sick, got a security guarantees, you know, the to preserve each independent and so right. in a postwar context, those arguments, i'm not sure have really visual mated. we've done a truck. this is, i think, also

a big part of new york and quite frankly, will have not managed to assemble convincing and off big enough plan to take to washington the to say, hey, look, we're willing to put that much skinny in the game. we're willing to take on that much risk and cover that much cost, but we do need the united states of america contributions to g r, a security guarantees. and we also need to have a seat at the table, open negotiation. so it comes, it'd be like the late mission, but not clear whether you've made any difference at this stage. now the u. s. president has also said that he thinks vladimir putin would accept european peacekeepers in ukraine. and that, of course, would be a big departure from what we have previously heard from russia. what do you make of this is what i think it's interesting. uh, but the key, the key here is for us europe at this keepers. uh oh, you're a big troops in ukraine to know that the us troops have that back. and i think this

probably was the key. why don't the key parts of the conversation behind close doors between my cohen try and peas, whether the united states would be good guarantors of the characters. and this is where there has been developed and so far by the, by trump and use advisors and eve, there was somebody fault on that. there was some progress. i think it would really be key for the u. k. but also germany and other countries to be willing to take the risk because there is a risk obviously of putting europe in forces on ukrainian ground or ukrainian air and maritime space. very toyota walters. and this issue that we keep circling back to of making sure that europe and also have a seat at the table over any negotiations over the future of ukraine or their arguments they could make to donald trump. that would be convincing to the us administration to try to make this case to what i think the call argument these

uh that europe has some leverage in any piece resolution. uh, with uh, with russia. europe is the key power even way for these sanctions. uh, the us sections obviously bought from the not as significant as the new sections of the rush i get from the rush as a couldn't be dependence and interdependence with, with europe. a defense thing of the frozen assets. europe has, as you know, most of the bank to reach up to russian frozen assets compared to the united states of america. and definitely to want these assets to be recovered by russia, one way or the other europe. we'd have to go along, but to be part of, of those conversations. and then finally, interesting, the good trumpet nutrition is very keen on, on the new integration of, of, of ukraine because they see that there's a way to shift the burden and give you credit burden quote and quote,

to the europe. it would, that gives us another big leverage saying, you know, we can proceed that we can even accelerate the accession process. but provided we obviously a part of the specific one because if not, why, why would we make x ray fault if we call to even agree on the tests? well, thank you so much for joining us today. with those insights, i'm speaking to a piece plus here, the ceo of a rasmussen global russia launched. it's full scale invasion of ukraine 3 years ago with an unprovoked attack that has been widely condemned as an act of aggression. good, you might remember this moment, the invasion began on february 24th of 2022 as explosions rock cities across ukraine. russian forces across the borders from the north. the south and the east ukrainian troops mounted fierce resistance repelling on attack near the capital. up

in the following weeks, russian soldiers advanced toward key spots faced further setbacks from resistance and from logistical failures. by late march, they withdrew from the north, but as ukrainian forces reclaim territory, they uncovered evidence of a massacre in which i did all these. rebecca writers reports from the town where she met with a group of survivors. they call themselves the witches of boucher an unofficial monica knowns to a mystic sisterhood. lucia because we are working in the boot chomsky districts, which is because old women which is these women a part of nearly all female volunteer defense unit trying to shoot down russian drones in the suburbs with a live suburbs of boucher and our pain on the outskirts of keys, these areas were unknown to most outside ukraine before the war, but anal synonymous with some of the worst atrocities committed by russian troops

in the days of the invasion. the women of this unit lives through it and survive. cause and those nice boots, each of us here has experience something in our lives that shows number of something that the war took from us. something that cannot be given to me. that's why this united so i sold a lot of the training ground, tatiana wilkes's, through those terrifying days in 2022 russian soldiers stormed into opinion like february on their way to take keys to push them all as so. so this is way the 1st battle began to be support. this is after they've brought they've calling them to the shopping seemed to look like this. you can see it clearly here year to do this . i don't know how to check out this building has been the seats of the russians was currently taking on his husband, alexander,

enlisted as part of the local territorial defense. the these, the residents of the city of f and 2 chairs from ordinary raises and was not military. you. but these of volunteers who took up so on the 1st day of the full scale invasion and stood up to defend keith and ukraine. and general tatiana and her children hate in a nearby bomb shelter with thousands of their neighbors as the fighting raged above ground. also, there's nothing to do with the yellow gashes, which will be, it was my husband's train. he helped the field, this is special to he was one of the 1st guys who made the russians on the approach of to move in a week of fighting on exam the made it back to the bomb shelter to beg them to leave because he started, he said john, yet please let us take the children away. oh, i see that i don't want to, i won't go without you. he replied, you and i have different tasks. your task is the same as the children and protect them. my job is to protect the city. those were his last words to

go to woodson. 3 years later she still carries reminders of that loss actually because this is one of those all as well. this is all i have left, but let the salt trip, military badges and the very fragment that killed him like this with the, you know, it somehow gives me strength. there are a moments when you give out them things that said, i can't do it anymore. and then i look at this fragment and i think now i can still do in general. instead of grieving alone, tatiana has chosen active resistance. more and more time we will change, we're trying to adapt to the realities of life. and the realities out that we have a was it's that's why we take our pounds to so potentially ana and others in her unit survival has managed, adapting to any reality. one where they've had to take on roles they never imagined

. yeah, i've brought this, i have lost my entire family and i have no and lifting ukraine glee up was when i came here, i found my family. for me, this is really very important because the person cannot exist alone. what or not protecting, not only the country, but also each of the democratic republic of congo next, which just like ukraine has important reserves of minerals that are crucial for the global economy. and that is one of the reasons for the advance of em. 23 rebels in the east of the country. the group has already captured major cities with the alleged backend of neighboring for one to the un and the us have called for a cease fire. now there are fears that the rebels advanced could be stabilized. the government, in contrast to and from other countries into the conflict between 23 rebels and because of the latest city they've conquered, they now have thousands of new recruits. the rebels,

quick advance has left an estimated 7000 people dead. many bear with the mass graves driven hundreds of thousands from the homes. the congolese government on the united nations labor one different bucking the rebels, including with thousands of soldiers and $23.00 said it's fighting to protect people over one dissent, the totes. the minority. the d. c also accuses were wonder of using m $23.00 to look to minerals, including the red men, the roll call tom. combining every is the rebels have captured other countries of also gotten involved as well. well, m 23 has captured goldman and the copy one condos. baldor with rolanda. you've done the, i'm burn day a bucking different militias of those countries of also sent troops into congo to support the government. the united nations of the stabilisation mission called from anesco in congo. hey, monique colon forward in the media,

the ceasefire. and then to hostilities with that, what's conditioned by the evidence is free for the military actions or to new to this. the dies is film democrats. these republic of congo and swiped the, you know, security code on the one the 2 and you so full to the editor and to 3 and to respect the city. so you will need to repeat of the deal, see, in line with zip code, meet smith's made in which a, ne, for fixes the congolese p. m. well, not the thing to also comes from other militias allied with the m. 23 under london troops. ebc, you know, the d r c is a country that has 9 neighbors to invest any security disturbance. any disturbance of the piece in the d r c can impact the other countries and not just in terms of

displaced, people think the but also because of all the arm groups that are bringing up. let me keep in. c the things you for the d. c and it's neighbors is not to the conflict escalates into a broader regional crisis. with the people caught in the middle turning now to the german election, which sol boaters opting for a change of government and a shift to the right. so for, for the far right alternative for germany party almost doubled. most of their backend comes from the former eastern parts of germany where nearly 35 years after reunification, deep divisions for may. well, the w is alex gas went to find for, or in the far east of the country on the border with poland. where they, if they performed strongly in sunday's election, with this election the far right if the has cemented its position as a force to be reckoned with. it has almost doubled its vote in 4 years. its success

shown by the stock divide on this map, is down to strong support across almost all of east in germany, with its n di migrant rhetoric and talk of closing boldest policy flipped many districts from the center left to the far right. like here in the city of concord order, where people are trying to make sense of the huge a f d gains it for steve. i don't understand it. maybe it's because of my age or it's the youth. didn't they get some education at home when? so how is it, you know, showing the super good? i don't think it's good because they have gained quite a lot. as soon as i can please. it's a mystery to me. it's a problem. that's who is of those where and surprised no, no, i wasn't. it was quite clear if the was the only ones containing the whole time compared to the other parties on the part time. says, i think it's very,

very good. i actually voted for the se myself and, and to be honest, all these foreigners are really annoying. frank, but it just isn't what it used to be. the migrants here were reluctant to talk to us about their concerns of, of drawings, in a fall big sentiment in the region, newly elected. if the low make out, i know gala said his party had responded to vote or frustration while he said of apologies carried on pushing unpopular policies that is going to san francisco. and we noticed more and more and campaign stands that people don't want the other parties dictating the funding of how they should think of what, how they should talk easy to what they should eat, what kind of heating system they should use. because they drive costs or they want policies made by german politicians for jeremy, the whole front door. where did you come through adults on budget for you and i, a political scientist at the cities university. the search of the far right is just

part of why the global trend products moving towards the extreme on one explanation for that as that, um, what holds the middle together? what, what did hold it together? what's the problem? so the open society of the, of the well 1st stage of capitalism being somehow tamed by social redistribution mechanism. and that problem is no longer holds true for a lot of people. as many people, i think what disappointed germany's next conservative that government needs to deliver the change. many i calling for if it wants to bring both a spec from the fringes as well, the sd will be the largest opposition party in the new german parliament. so how much power does that give? so i put it to deed of these political corresponded matthew more. that's why they're likely to be the, the main possible position. so 1st of all, that gives them the, the right to respond to the government and am and debates in the parliament. and

that will give them more exposure than then they've had until now. that's also the case when it comes to things like that. the her, the media report on parliament, their voice will be, will be right up there with the governments and any debates. and that's going to give them a lot of coverage. the other thing that it does is when you have 20 percent of the seats in parliament, not automatically gives you 20 percent of the seats in the, in the committees in parliament. and also, and should give them a right to have one of the, their members as vice president in the parliament over seeing the procedure and the debate and parliament told them that's not been the case. they've the other members in the business not covered and not bolted front of the member. but the question now stands in here will be, do that will be continue to block the, the from, from putting forward a vice president and the parliament until now. they said, we can't, we can't unload the f t to it took to hold that role because it's, it's, it's a role that the overseas, the debate and, and the f. b is fox. you on really the consider on auntie democratic party. but

when you've got one 5th of the seats in parliament, the question then stands, can you continue to pull up my of, of that role the, despite how happy the are about this result. there's, there was also attend to disappointment. it amongst the parties. they thought they could do best, so they thought they could get caught sort of the votes, and that would give them the ability to do something that they really wanted to do . which was to say open inquiry to, to, to look at things like the corona upon demick. no, not hasn't match box the, the, another party the on the left have got a blocking minority lows. them to block any changes to the constitution that could allow them to block attempts to reform deputies seamlessly tight debt rules. yeah, that's one of the reasons i want to ask because a major issue for the likely next chancellor freezers merits will be the so called debt practice. this concept that plays is strict constitutional limits on what the government can borrow. what can merits do about that?

so, fevers mats since he's, since his election day went on monday, sunday, sorry, has a said that he would like to, to, to reform the german debt rules. and, and to do that, he's saying perhaps they can use the existing majority in the parliament that the current and the old pawsman, which is of, is still an able to pass laws for, for 13 days or so. and they could do that within the next 30 days. so he's, he's really started across the aisle. and so the social democrats and the greetings to see if they can come together to, to, to reform the debt break before the new parliament comes into 16. if you were to do that, it would, it would obviously be a source of outrage to the all to the, to the f e. um they would consider onto democratic. but the reason that predict not just do not is he said that the, the time that the gemini isn't right now with donald trump saying that he is expecting you to do a lot more on security. a lot more on defense and features to match as it has

acknowledged that am in recent the saying that germany or at least to become independent of the us when it comes to, to defense. and in order to become independent, we need to just spend a lot more money on the gem and jonathan despair and you need to spend a lot more money on, on your team defense. and so, so realistically jeremy doesn't have that money sitting around them. so they would have to borrow it and, and that would require a strict changes to the debt rules. and so yeah, so time is on and we will see whether they get their way massive. thank you so much for that updates or political correspondent matching more us and just before is i'll leave you with a good bye to one of the greats. grammy winning is us singer and pianist, roberta flack has died at the age of 88, best known for her sultry ballads like a killing me softly with his song. and the 1st time i ever saw your face, she topped the charts in the 1970s flatland, a jazz soul, palm and r and b to create a distinctive style. 2 years ago she reveals that she had a less,
